Will this work on a 2004 Ford F150 XLT Triton that doesn't have a (6) CD changer (I only have the (1) CD player in the front)? I have a button for auxiliary, but I don't have an auxiliary port. Can I plug this in the back and gain an auxiliary port that works with my auxiliary button?

Best Answer:I have a 2004 Ford Focus ZX4. It sounds like you and I have the exact same CD player (1 disc version) and if that is the case, YES, it will work. It is not just plug-and-play though. You will need one or two (I can't remember) wire connectors in order to provide power to the PAC AAI-FD4 unit. I bought "The Hillman Group 10-Count Butt Splice Wire Connectors" from Lowes and was able to connect everything and splice the appropriate wires within about 20 minutes (I can't include the link here so just search that phrase on Lowes website).

Also - you should make sure the unit is secured behind your CD player somehow. The first time I attempted this I just let everything dangle loosely and the connection wasn't consistent so I would have to go without auxiliary capabilities occasionally. Afterward, I wedged the unit in tightly and now it's fine. Still - the best thing to do would be to actually fasten the unit to the vehicle's structure somehow instead of letting it just sit there precariously like I did.

Thank you so much for the reply man. I have about 10 pounds of butt connectors haha We should be good there. I'm wanting to install this behind my stock radio, then hard a bluetooth receiver behind the dash, and run power from the cigarette lighter to the bluetooth receiver (I want the dash to look completely stock, hence the reason I'm hiding everything). Where did you run the power from to the PAC AAI-FD4?

Yes, this is exactly what you need. (I installed it in a 2004 F150 Lariat, same radio, no CD changer or rear entertainment add ons) The box plugs right into the back of the radio and the cable has a port to reconnect anything that was there in the first place. Now the aux works. Be warned, if you want to do it yourself you'll need a little electrical know how since the box needs to be hooked up to a 12V power source. I took apart one of the cigarette lighters and attached the box to its power and ground wires and managed to put it back together so that the outlet still works.

Thanks for the feedback man. I'm going to have to beef up that circuit a little bit. I plan on putting a bluetooth adapter (along with the PAC AAI-FD4) behind the dash, and power it on the 12v cigarette lighter circuit.

It should, we had a single CD player as well. But we had someone install in for us, we didn't do ourselves. You might want to check with an installer, they would know for sure. Before I bought it that's what I did. I printed things out and showed them the specs, they looked at my vehicle and was able to tell. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thanks for the reply Diane. Is it still working? I plan on hiding this unit behind the receiver, and connect a bluetooth adapter to it. I also plan on doing all of this myself. I just wanted to make sure the harness matched

It was working the whole time we had the vehicle....we no longer have the vehicle it was installed in and we left it in, as the newer vehicle we got was properly equipped already. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I installed this on a 2006 F-250 with a single disc CD player with an aux. button and no aux port. The provided wiring harness plugs into the back of the stock unit, and utilizes the aux. button to switch to audio input from a aux. device. Works perfectly.

Yes, I don't see why it wouldn't work... This product is amazing... Mine is still working to spec on my stock 04 F150 S-Crew Lariat... The additional volume on the unit is an awesome feature... Definitely recommend...

Does this product (PAC AAI-FD4) disable the CD changer? Meaning once it is installed the cd changer will no longer function? The product description says it converts the cd changer 12-pin port to RCA audio port.

Best Answer:From my experience, it doesn't. I installed this in my 2006 Ford Freestyle (which doesn't have the DVD package) and the only thing it does is convert the DVD/AUX button to switch to the PAC AAI-FD4. It doesn't affect anything else.

Best Answer:Sorry for the delay, been busy. I was told to tell you to check the aux output to see if they are plugged in all the way. Check all the connections and make sure they are completely connected. Otherwise you might have a bad one, return it and get a bother one.
